Chivalry & Sorcery Sourcebook"This supplement includes answers to the most commonly asked questions about C & S, a full explanation of how to use the magick system created in Chivalry & Sorcery, and new rules for medicine, diseases, trade, agriculture, forestry, sieges, and marshalling feudal forces in time of war."

"This book covers the Vikings, Mongols, Gaels, Picts and Celts. Each such nationality is fully discussed in terms of social organization, military organization, magick user types, character development, and political/economic systems. In addition to discussing this new set of nationalities, SWORDS & SORCERERS offers Mass Combat Modifications to properly allow for the battle tactics and effectiveness of these new army groups. A new battle system for paper and pencil is also presented for those who wish to speed up mass combat resolution or who wish to avoid the use of large numbers of miniatures (why anyone would wish to pass up the full splendor and pageantry of medieval miniatures is inexplicable.) Finally, a set of tables for instant calculation of feudal holdings and fortress construction is also included in this rule book."

Arden: A Gamemaster's Aid for Chivalry & Sorcery (A Complete Kingdom)"INTRODUCTIONWelcome to Arden! Arden is one of the nations in the Archaeron campaign of the designers of Chivalry & Sorcery. It encompasses some 136,000 square miles, roughly equal to the area of the British Isles or about sixty percent of the area of France. Arden's total population is about 3.5 million, but only 2,909,110 have been counted by the census conducted every ten years. The population density is about 1/22 that of modern Britain, which means that there are large expanses of trackless wilderness between the settled regions.Only the bare outlines of Arden are presented here. Players have the basic geography in a set of 24 maps in a scale of 1"=12 miles (1cm=7.6km) depicting the major towns, castles, and Knight's fees, mountains, hills, rivers, and lakes — in short, the general physical environment. The major feudal holdings are delineated with respect to such factors as their military strength, populations, and economics. A number of aspects of the society, history, and political situation are also presented. However, it is the "World Master' (the game referee) who must breathe life into the region by providing the local color.Arden should not be regarded as a scenario booklet or a 'dungeon module.' Rather, it is a 'World' environment, a campaign guide which a World Master can use to introduce his own scenarios. Arden is the 'stage' on which all of the adventures of the player-characters are enacted. It is an environment designed to facilitate role-playing on many levels.Many of the features of Arden are based upon the systems evolved in Chivalry & Sorcery and its attendant expansions (C & S Sourcebook and Swords & Sorcerers.) These rule books will also provide helpful explanations and gaming systems but are not essential to the use of Arden as a campaign environment. Indeed, Arden is designed to be used with any FRP gaming system."

DestrierFrom the Editorial Introduction:"Chivalry & Sorcery utilizes a fairly complex system of individual combat in the interests of realism and player input. Such a system is far harder to master than the type systems employed in earlier, first generation, role playing games. It requires work, pracLice and patience to master the C & S system and some reference to the charts while conducting an individual level combat or melee with small numbers of characters.Some players have objected to this degree of complexity, while others have joyfully taken the plunge and revelled in the realism. Yet, even those who are willing to go to the work needed to achieve this degree of real ism in a combat system have hoped for some form of streamlining. One answer to this problem came from a C&S campaign in North Carolina, across the continent from the original campaign. After a series of letters and rules modifications, this new system has been adopted in the original campaign as well. It offers n system to streamline out many of the references to tables, paperwork, and complexity of the combat system without changing the basic system or reducing the realism of C&S combat.Destrier offers a card system to demonstrate the tactical decisions made in C & S combat and end the need for paperwork. The cards have the additional advantage of making the entire, system easier for novice players which will speed up the events within any ongoing campaign. The basic combat system is unchanged, only the mechanics are somewhat simplified and easier for the novice to understand quickly. Player options remain the same and combat rounds are run more smoothly..."

"Complete naval rules for ancient, medieval and Renaissance periods. Designed to work with Chivalry and Sorcery, included are cut-apart ship counters for fleet actions and 25 mm scale deck plans for boarding actions. Also included are detailed rules on naval trade, piracy and profits."

Rapier and Dagger: Swordplay on a Man-to-Man Scale "The treatment of Rapier & Dagger in these rules is divided into two distinct styles: (a) using just paper and pencil, and (b) rules for using 25mm or 54mm figures. Both of these styles of rules use similar concepts and terms derived from the writings of the 17th Century masters of the blade. The most important of these concepts deal with distance and movement..."
